Crisis Averted!

Earlier today I finished reading Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. OK, so it was published in 1992 and I showed up to the party about 15 years late, but it's a great read, even in 2007. My only true complaint is that the middle 70 pages or so are lacking in the action department. More swordfights, please!

Some aspects of it are a bit contrived, and others most definitely dated. Yet others ring true today, and as a whole it succeeds in being fascinating. There are many concepts and theories covered that I wouldn't have previously considered — and that I didn't realize were included in the story — especially with respect to linguistics and religion.
